    I like how this video is a direct sequel to the I Believe in a Thing Called Love-video, and how it means that 1) Justin managed to make a complete change of cat suits, in the middle of a crash landing and 2) that the female alien and the four-armed towel monster is not stranded on the beach with the boys, so... they must have gone down with the ship and is now perished at the bottom of the sea 🥲

    Hey you!
    Do you remember me
    I used to sit next to you at school
    We indulged in all the extra-curricular activites
    We weren't particularly cool
    Oh Monday cycling
    Tuesday gymnastics
    Dancing on a Friday night
    I got Bridge Club on Wednesday
    Archery on Thursday
    Dancing on a Friday night
    Hey you!
    Could you ever fall for me
    Oh the way I fell for you
    And do you dwell upon the thoughts that I occupy
    Or do you give yourself things to do?
    Oh Monday rowing
    Tuesday badminton
    Dancing on a Friday night
    I got ping pong on Wednesday
    Needlework on Thursday
    Dancing on a Friday night
    With you, with you . . .
    Oh Monday, Tuesday
    Wednesday, Thursday
    Dancing on a Friday night
    Let the music smother me
    Whole weekend recovery
    Dancing on a Friday night
    Oh see the lady I adore
    Dancing on the dancing floor
    Dancing on a Friday night
    God, the way she moves me
    To write bad poetry
    Dancing on a Friday night
    With you
    Friday night

    Im confused. Old song, old music video even. And yet, in 2023 it gets uploaded to UA-cam? Am I missing something?
    That said, this isnt a complaint in the slightest. Its kinda awesome to hear it this far down the line and this track (and corresponding album) still hold up today.
    Makes me wonder what hapened to that classic rock sound the Darkness brought back into the mainstream in 2003.
    20 years man....
